Description

What is the state of interpersonal violence in Singapore? How can we understand such a complex issue? And how can we empower those in abusive relationships with their parents, children, spouses or dates to be heard in our communities and workplaces? Join us for an evening with Dr Sudha Nair, founder of Singapore’s pioneer specialist centre for interpersonal violence, PAVE, as she gives an overview of the issue, and how we can effect change through impactful giving.

Spousal abuse has been increasingly prominent in local news. In 2015, the Family Justice Courts received 2,885 applications for legal protection – 75.6% were filed by women.
